Image via Wikipedia Market stats for Norcross, October, 2010 indicate that there were 390 properties on the market. Overall, there is about a 8.5 month supply of properties. October and September sales were down v 2009 (42 v 57 and 43 v 55), but August was way up (52 v 43).  Overall, the market isn't terrible here, looking back.

January was a powerhouse, with 10 sales compared to only 3 in 2009.  But, February was only slightly better, with 11 sales compared to 8 in 2009....

Have you heard of the Eastern Continental Divide?  It is an imaginary line that runs right through the Norcross Historic District... and all of the rivers and streams on one side of this line eventually flow into the Atlantic... on the other side, they flow into the Gulf of Mexico.  I knew a lot of things about Norcross... that wasn't one of them.  The site that is now Norcross, GA, sits along an old trail that ran from Fort Daniel (near Dacula ay Hog Mountain) to Peachtree Fort (near the confluence of Peachtree Creek and the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta).  It was called the Peachtree Road.  Parts of it are still called Old Peachtree Road in Gwinnett County.  Later, in 1856 a rail line was proposed by former Atlanta Mayor Jonathon Norcross.  It wasn't until 1869 that the first 20 mile...

Anyone who was unable to make it missed a great time.  With the recent flooding in the metro area, we were happy to get a sunny weekend.       In Downtown Norcross were over 100 artists from all over the east coast and sponsors from all over Gwinnett County.  Thank you to all that came by and a special Thank You goes out to those who contributed to Servpro and their collection for TOYS FOR TOTS.

Hey AR!  I'm looking for some pointers.  I'm hosting my first CE Class in October.  It'll actually be two classes, Ethical Studies (3 hrs) and Restorative Drying (2 hrs).  Any thoughts on what has and has not worked for your previous classes?  Thanks!

Everyone loves a high school band. Right? It promotes musical excellence and appreciation, teamwork, and high moral standards while representing our families, school and community. Norcross High School Band is no different. WSBTV News noted that "the The Norcross High School Band is One Of The Best In The Business." The honors and awards the program has garnered is impressive. The high school program includes the Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Basketball Band, Winterguard and Percussion Ensemble.
